Premier of the Soviet Union

Shane Hamilton and Sarah Phillips highlights the debates of Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev. Nikita Khrushchev and USSR are the clear victors of the kitchen debate. Khrushchev’s concern about the Soviet population as a whole is a key reason as to why he is the winner of the debate. Instead of being concerned about individualism, his focus was on the people and how he could better the country. To begin, unlike Nixon, Khrushchev sought out to treat Soviet women as equal human beings instead of slave to the kitchens. Nixon thought that the Soviet women would admire the shiny new kitchens that were in the American exhibition and that it would grab their attention. However, the women were…

No other author like Gail Warshofsky Lapidus has written about Soviet women as she has. In one of her many books, Women, Work, and Family in the Soviet Union Lapidus claims that the irreplaceable role of Soviet women in both production and reproduction made it virtually certain that the questions of women’s work and household duties were central issues on the Soviet political agenda during the late 1960s. Once the male population started to rise again, and return to the labor force the…

The kitchen of the home was well equipped with a dishwasher, refrigerator,…

A paradox existed in the Soviet Union in 1989, as the movement that led to the eventual overthrow of communism was really launched by the Soviet Union itself. Multiple factors led to this overthrow. In addition, there were three key people who contributed, at least in part, to the demise of Communism. Gorbachev was the Soviet premier at the time and had a hand in the dismantling of the Soviet power structure. While he was not the one who started the ball rolling, he did contribute to where it…

The Cold War, which lasted from 1945 to 1991, was a time of extreme tensions and conflict between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. The Cold War gained its name due to the fact that though both countries built up their armies, seemingly in preparation for war, neither one directly confronted each. The differences in markets, governments, and general culture allowed tense relations between the two competing superpowers as each attempted to increase their sphere of influence. As a…
